Exploration of exotic quantum phase transitions has always been a focus in condensed matter physics. Critical phenomena in a phase transition are entirely determined by the universality class, which ...

The singularity has been defined as that point where technology, driven primarily by AI, will surpass human intelligence so that, effectively, humans will no longer understand what is happening around ...

Albert Einstein’s theory of gravity, general relativity, is famously incomplete. As proven by physics Nobel laureate Roger Penrose, when matter collapses under its own gravitational pull, the result ...

I've long been fascinated by the fundamental mystery of our universe's origin. In my work, I explore an alternative to the traditional singularity-based models of cosmology. Instead of a universe ...

At the center of each classical black hole is a paradox: a singularity, where gravity is infinite and the laws of physics break down. But a new theoretical breakthrough says such cosmic dead ends aren ...

A cartoon of a black hole and a naked singularity. Either of them can be the end product of a gravita tional collapse of matter, depending on initial and other conditions. For a black hole, nothing, ...
